Senior and vocal lawyer, Ahmednassir Abdullahi, nicknamed the Grand Mullah, has severely criticized the Jubilee government for paying so much attention to Miguna Miguna.

Speaking to one of the local TV stations on Tuesday, February 6, Ahmednassir, who served as Uhuru Kenyatta's lawyer in the August 8, 2017 Supreme Court election petition, said Miguna was insignificant in Kenyan politics and his arrest was totally unnecessary.

"Miguna is not a play in Kenyan politics. Yes, he talks loud, but he is so insignificant in Kenyan politics. I don't know why he was arrested," Ahmednassir said.

The Grand Mullah argued that the controversial swearing in of National Super Alliance (NASA) leader Raila Odinga did not amount to treason and therefore arresting Miguna for taking part in it did not make sense.

"What Raila did is not treason. It was a fictional title. He can't be charged with treason. When you want to swear yourself in for something that doesn't exist, you can go ahead with it," he said.

TUKO.co.ke has reported a number of instances where the executive arm of the government and the police blatantly ignored court orders with impunity.

For instance, the government defied a court order directing it to restore signals for TV stations, which were shut down on Tuesday, January 30, 2018 in attempts to stop them from covering NASA's disputed inauguration ceremony.
